When I saw the title, I thought this post would be about rationalist Phoenix Wright fanfiction. Quite possibly that would lead to Phoenix leading a campaign for legal reform due to their stupid “Three day trial, guilty until another is proven guilty, no chain of custody laws” legal system, or at least having that incompetent judge fired.
Hard to say if those rules apply to all courts in the Phoenix Wright universe, though. Whenever you lose a case, you’re told that it will be consigned to “a higher court”, though there’s no real explanation of what that means. Maybe the lower courts that Wright defends his clients in are just a kind of filter to prevent the best courts from getting bogged down in huge case loads.
That would explain why Wright has to deal with the silliest judge in the universe, and prosecutors who can throw coffee cups at the defense and literally whip witnesses without any consequences: all the judges with real intelligence and authority have positions in “real” courts.
